Yeah! FelPro has always been a class act. She scored on that one. I drew my paycheck from them for a few years back at a facility down here when they were still family owned. Good luck!
Hi Xav! I have been fortunate enough be one of the few Xav has PM'd consistantly through all of this. He is truly an amazing person with a never die spirit. He and Zoe are just amazing people and the world desperately needs more people like them. I have been keeping them in my thoughts and prayers, I hope all of his wagon family will do the same. Good on you both my brother. Dewey.
Loved to hear the news, Xavier, about Zoe's new job. We're all still praying that something else will come together for you, specifically. It's remarkable that you have such a positive outlook in spite of all that you've been through.
So exciting to hear that Zoe is starting a new job, she must be excited...guess that makes you Cinderfella... Question? does she get a staff discount? Just about everyone here want to know...lol We all have stuff going on in our lives, some like to share it others don't. Because you chose to share with us some of your personal life shows me how close you are to the members here. I am so glad to see you posting again and you know I wish you and your family nothing but the best. Give Zoe a big hug for me, she deserves it and when she hugs you back a little of that is from me. Hang in there buddy and please remember to do the BEST you can with what you have to work with, it's only a shame when you don't! Now what about that discount...
Good luck Xavier. I have nothing more to add. We admire you for who you are and the strength you have to fight.
Well, update time. Monday was a horrible miserable day. We got kicked out but we got help. We're staying with our friends for a few days. We are getting help to get back into our own place so this is a temporary situation. I can't wait. Zoe loves he job even though it is very physically taxing. Her first day she did so well that they actually let her work alone. She also got to keep the shift that has the most hours. She doesn't work at the gaskets facility up in Skoky. They sent her to another one of their plants down on Kedsey and Addison and she makes U joints. We lost most everything in the move due to lack of space but we don't care so Lang as we have a roof over our heads and we and our cats are safe. This week is a busy one but worth it. Things are still improving. I know that I will find work and soon. Thank you all for believing in us.
Prayers are with you two still and always! Good luck getting your belongings back, too. There should be some recourse about that as well. Keep looking forward. You'll get there in the end. Hugs to both of you.
We have a place to look at today and another tomorrow. The only thing we are being picky about is that the place must allow cats and that the rent be below a certain amount, because we couldn't afford it otherwise. I'm so excited to get our place again. And we are doing it the right way this time!.. now that we know what the right way is. I know I will find a job and soon. Zoe loves hers and is doing really well. Her supervisor told her that she managed to achieve in just three days what most dont even do in 2 weeks. I'm so proud of her. Well I gotta get ready to go. On my way to my future. Wagons Go!... I know its wagons ho but I don't like saying ho.
Wow Xavier. You show the rest of us that with love and hope life can go on. Someday when you are rich and famous you'll laugh about all this. Ho!~
We......... might...... have a place. Its only 2 blocks from where i'm sitting right now. I know that the people we're staying with don't want us here and have made it clear that we need to be out in like, oh... tomorrow. Apparently our presence here is more than one of them can handle and in their distress, and dislike of us for unknown reasons, they have stayed elsewhere for a couple nights, but will be returning tomorrow. Chicago is not like so many other places where you can meet the person you are renting from and say yes I want the place and then move the next day... I also applied for a job today. Its hard to find things that I not only qualify for but can do. There are lots of jobs that I am capable of doing. There are always dog walking/watching jobs but every one of them requires a car and proof of insurance. Neither I have nor can get. Anyways. There are many possibilities as to how tomorrow is going to go. Most are less then desirable but we will make the best with what we got. They did say that even though we cannot stay there if nothing else our cats can... At least they like animals and out cats are [somewhat] familiar with one of them. I would visit each day and use the internet to search for jobs and/or apartments. I wish I could just go to one of the many small hotels/hostels around here and say look we have this much $, I need work, and we need a place to stay while we get back on our feet, let's work something out. But it doesn't work like that. We'll see. At least things are finally getting better. You know what they say when you hit [a] rock bottom... start climbing.
I should have know that was going to come back and bite me. Yes some day I will be rich and famous... not in a glam or rock star way. Not my stile. Even if we were billionaires Zoe and I would live in something no bigger than a 2 bedroom apartment or maybe three bed if we have kids and maybe and I mean maaaayyyybeee a house of the same size. I admit that I would love to own at least a station wagon and a hearse or maybe 2 wagons and a hearse but I will gladly settle for the 1 station wagon. At least Zoe wants one too. Zoe wants to go to school and we are reaching for her to be able to go this next semester. I will write my novels... Sorry getting all dreamy-eyed. Hope and faith is all we got left. We lost everything else on Monday. We gots each other though and our wonderful cats and our family. No not the genetically related ones... You lot and a few others we have met through the years. We are all going through our owe troubles right now. We all believe in each other and want to see each other succeed. Everyone who reads this needs to remember that. There are always those who have faith in you and want to see you happy...
You my friend are not a freak. You are unique. Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy. I'm a freak and proud of it.
The term 'freak' is something that has come to have personal meaning for Zoe and I both. At one point in time she had a big blue mohawk and a spiky leather jacket. On an occasion where make up is worn I can promise you that it is almost always me wearing the most of it. Unique yes. I understand what you are saying and thank you. Additional: I'm a Unique Freak
